Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between eating disorder therapy and regular talk therapy?
Eating disorder therapy uses specialized techniques (like CBT-E or DBT) that address food, body image, and emotional triggers — not just general mental health concerns.

Yes. Many clients across Ontario successfully recover through online sessions with licensed therapists experienced in virtual care.
What therapy methods are used for eating disorder recovery?
Common approaches include CBT-E (enhanced cognitive behavioural therapy), DBT, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed care — tailored to individual recovery needs.
Can therapy alone help, or do I need medical treatment too?
Therapy is essential but may be part of a broader recovery team that includes medical professionals and dietitians. Collaboration ensures comprehensive care, if needed.
How long does it take to recover from an eating disorder with therapy?
Recovery timelines vary widely. Some individuals see progress in months, while others may need longer-term support. The goal is sustainable, compassionate healing.
Is eating disorder therapy confidential and judgment-free?
Yes. All therapy sessions are held in a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space. Therapists are trained to provide care with empathy and confidentiality.
